Wife: why did you get yourself a new setup?
Me: it was a gift. from myself. to myself.

I have this same convo with my partner as recent as last Wednesday. In return, she went and bought more scented candles. Can't wait to smell Fall Pumpkin Flannel Spice. It's a 3 wicker.

The wheelbite with these forged baseplate 6.1's is insane.  Might have to swap the hangers to 5.8

The Killing Floor grip

Bought this to support the shop this summer and have had it stashed. It’s shaped so the nose and tail are identical but feels like the nose is a little longer. I’m going to have to remeasure to confirm cause the dimensions/WB suggest it should be the same. It’s a big deck but rides much smaller than the dimensions. Actually swapping the wheels for some 58mm speedlabs and adding an 1/8” riser to get a steeper angle when I pop.

Absolutely beautiful. Didn’t know AH had an eagle in a 8.12. What are the dimensions?

They list them as 8.12x32, but the last few I’ve skated measure out to a 32.25. It’s my favorite shape; if we weren’t still in a board shortage it’d be the only board I’d ever buy

They’re pretty hard to find and only a few shops have them but I think they’ve been out for a month or so

This one’s an 8.25 but def doesn’t look like it. Think this came out last year fall/winter or something like that.

The black baseplates add a nice touch with that board

It’s on the sticker as 14.25, but I’ve measured it to 14. I think it was Rocklobster who asked me about it a few months ago. I haven’t measured one since. They haven’t changed much since the first 8.12 eagle I skated in the mid-2000’s

I mentioned it in the ACE thread, but so far I prefer the 33’s. Not much of a weight difference and the taller truck seems to help a bit on flip tricks. They look pretty cool as far as design aesthetics go for whatever it’s worth. By the time these are down to the axle the updated ones should be out, and I’m looking forward to giving those a try as well

It's from two releases ago, it's hard to tell from pictures but there's actually embossed tennis rackets on it too (it was inspired by an Andre Agassi shoe I think). It's one of my favorite DOA graphics so far, so much so that when a friend wanted an 8.25 flat I sent him a different one despite the strings one being way more beat up.

I was having so much FUN with my Lotti that I decided to really crank up the FUN and get the wider version. Everything besides the width is pretty much identical. Same mold, same length and wb, same FUN.

Hey guys I'm not sure if it's ever been pointed out before, but footballs are a lot of FUN.

Thanks!
33s look amazing. Something about them is just very cool, pleasing, visually (I also enjoyed them quite a bit). The only truck that looks almost as cool is maybe some Phil Shao/Pupecki ventures.

The FUN never stops. What size shoe are you? I had the opportunity to get this one and even sold the bigger Thaynan because I am a size 11 and think they're too small BUT they both look like so much FUN and I think I need to relax.

Wow. That grip is lovely. I haven't ever switched from standard black tape but I'm definitely considering it now. Is it distracting for you? Is the grip itself decent?

The thing I like about bigger (9+) football shapes is for me they handle flip tricks, ledge stuff, etc...like a standard popsicle (8.25-5) but the width in the middle makes it feel like a cruiser board too. Plus it’s nice to look down and see something different.

And....

Also for me they helped me learn a lot of tricks on transition. I remember in the Ronnie Sandoval 9 Club he said ishod learned how to skate transition on the Cardiel football shape. It makes transition skating so much.... fun.
